Blu-Ray News: DEEPWATER HORIZON VR – 360° Virtual Reality Commentary

Deepwater Horizon available on Digital HD now and
on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-rayTM Combo Pack and DVD January 10th

SANTA MONICA, CA and VANCOUVER, BC (December 20, 2016) – To celebrate the Digital HD release of Deepwater Horizon Lionsgate is taking film commentary to the next level with the new Deepwater Horizon VR app, now available on iOS and Android mobile platforms. Using the new immersive Deepwater Horizon VR, fans will experience, for the first time ever, the thrill of being in the same room with director Peter Berg (Lone Survivor, Patriots Day) as he dives into the critically acclaimed film Deepwater Horizon with exclusive commentary alongside editor Colby Parker Jr (Lone Survivor, Patriots Day).
Created by SubVRsive in partnership with Lionsgate, viewers will be
surrounded by renderings and sketches of the various special effects
used in the film, as Berg and Parker Jr. reference them.

“Lionsgate
was one of the first media companies to embrace consumer applications
for VR and we are dedicated to evolving our offerings to enhance the fan
involvement in our content,” said Jim Packer, Lionsgate President of
Worldwide TV & Digital Distribution. “With our VR app, fans fully
immerse themselves in the world of Deepwater Horizon as seen through the
eyes of our filmmakers, and it is a unique experience that adds a new
dimension to home viewing.”

The mobile Deepwater Horizon VR experience includes
three film scenes with commentary - only available via the app - and is
free to download through the Apple App Store or Google Play. The first
scene is fully accessible when the app is downloaded and the additional
scenes are unlocked using audio recognition while viewing Deepwater Horizon.

The app can be used on an iPhone or Android smartphone with a compatible
virtual reality viewing device such as Google Cardboard, which should
be used while seated. Alternately, users without a mobile VR viewer can
enjoy the experience in 360 video mode. All instructions included with
the compatible VR viewing device should be followed before use and such
use should not continue if any discomfort or health reactions are
experienced.
